DECISION
[2008] NSWIRComm 1070
Background
1 BlueScope Steel Limited lodged a notification of an industrial dispute with the Australian Workers Union on Tuesday, 29 January, 2008. The dispute concerned a manning issue. It was proposed to abolish a position of rover on each of the crews on the paintline. The matter came before Grayson DP for a conference on Friday, 1 February, 2008. Those proceedings and all subsequent proceedings concerning this matter were convened in the Commission's premises at 90 Crown Street, Wollongong. A protocol has been developed for the BlueScope Steel operations whereby industrial disputes are referred to the State Commission under S.146A of the 1996 Industrial Relations Act and a S.146A referral agreement has been completed by the parties in that respect.
